AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
330 PM EDT TUE JUL 22 2008

.SYNOPSIS...A WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY OVER THE AREA AND A WARM HUMID
AIR MASS WILL RESULT IN MUGGY CONDITIONS TONIGHT WITH A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM...MAINLY EAST OF HIGHWAY 1. THE
THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS AN
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THIS AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE WILL CROSS THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 200 PM TUESDAY...

SFC ANALYSIS THIS AFTERNOON SHOWS A TROUGH AXIS STRETCHING FROM
NJ SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE CENTRAL CAROLINAS INTO GA. WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE WAS LOCATED JUST WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS OVER EASTERN TN/KY
AND WV. A WEAK COLD FRONT WAS LOCATED FURTHER NORTHWEST ACROSS
IA/IL/IN/OH. A LARGE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY ASSOC/W AN MCS THAT BARRELED
THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY INTO WV DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS MADE
ITS WAY INTO CENTRAL NC DURING THE MORNING...STALLING OUT IN
VICINITY OF THE US 1 CORRIDOR (NOTICE THE PROMINENT WIND SHIFT IN
THAT AREA).

ALOFT...12Z RAOB ANALYSIS SHOWED AN UPPER LOW WELL NORTH OF THE
GREAT LAKES IN QUEBEC...WITH A LONGWAVE TROUGH AXIS STRETCHING
SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES INTO MO/AR. THE BEST DYNAMICS
ALOFT WERE ASSOC/W 30-40 METER 12-HR HEIGHT FALLS AND A 75-100 KNOT
JET ENTRANCE REGION OVER THE EASTERN OHIO VALLEY INTO NORTHERN WV/VA
AND PA. A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH WAS NOTED AT 250MB JUST WEST OF THE
SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS ACROSS EASTERN TN/KY/AL. AT 500MB...THERE WAS
WEAK DIFFLUENCE ACROSS THE CAROLINAS.

CONVECTION: THE 12Z GSO SOUNDING IS SPORTING SOME PRETTY STEEP
LAPSE RATES... NEAR DRY ADIABATIC THROUGH 550MB...WITH A PWAT OF
1.31. FCST SOUNDINGS THIS AFTERNOON CONTINUE TO SHOW VERY STEEP
LOW/MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...WITH SFC DEWPOINTS IN THE MID/UPPER
60S. FCST SOUNDINGS ARE SHOWING QUITE A BIT OF AVAILABLE
INSTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON WITH TEMPS EXPECTED TO REACH INTO THE
UPPER 90S TO NEAR 100F. THE BIG QUESTION TODAY IS WHETHER OR NOT
WE WILL HAVE A SUFFICIENT FOCUS FOR SCATTERED CONVECTION TO
DEVELOP. AT PRESENT...THE REMNANT MCS OUTFLOW BOUNDARY STALLED OUT
AROUND THE US 1 CORRIDOR IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A LOW LEVEL
FOCUS. THE WEAK 250MB SHORTWAVE JUST WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS IS
ANOTHER CANDIDATE FOR CONVECTIVE SUPPORT...AT THE UPPER LEVELS.
HOWEVER...THE LATEST RUC IS NOT SHOWING MUCH IN THE WAY OF LIFT IN
ASSOC/W THIS FEATURE OVER CENTRAL NC...KEEPING THE BEST DPVA
(ASSOC/W A 15/S VORTMAX) FURTHER SOUTH OVER GA/SC. ANOTHER
POTENTIAL SOURCE OF LOW LEVEL LIFT MAY COME FROM THE
SEABREEZE...DEPENDING ON HOW FAR INLAND IT PROPAGATES. GIVEN
STRONG DIURNAL HEATING...IT SHOULD BE ABLE TO HEAD RELATIVELY FAR
INLAND...AS MUCH AS LIGHT SOUTHWEST (COAST PARALLEL) LOW LEVEL
WINDS WILL ALLOW. HAVE DECIDED TO DROP POPS IN THE TRIAD TO 20%
GIVEN THAT THEY ARE COOLER/DRIER THAN ANYWHERE ELSE...AND ARE
BEHIND THE STALLED OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. HAVE KEPT POPS AT LOW CHANCE
(30%) CLOSER TO THE TRIANGLE AND SANDHILLS WHERE TEMPS/MOISTURE
ARE HIGHER...AND UPPED POPS TO 40% IN THE COASTAL PLAIN WHERE THE
STALLED MCS OUTFLOW BOUNDARY MAY MEET WITH OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM
DEEP CONVECTION CURRENTLY OVER FAR EASTERN NC AND/OR THE
SEABREEZE...SHOULD IT PROPAGATE FAR ENOUGH INLAND THIS AFTERNOON.
ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON COULD EASILY BECOME
SEVERE GIVEN THE VERY STEEP LOW/MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...WITH A
PRIMARY THREAT OF DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH AND HAIL UP
TO THE SIZE OF NICKELS.

TONIGHT...LOW TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO BE VERY MILD IN THE
LOWER/MID 70S. WILL INTRODUCE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS
OVERNIGHT TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ANY ACTIVITY THAT MAY PERSIST WELL
PAST SUNSET AND/OR PROPAGATE INTO CENTRAL NC FROM THE NORTH OR
WEST...BASED ON THE LATEST GFS/NAM RUNS WHICH SHOW A POTENTIAL FOR
THIS TO OCCUR...IN ADDITION TO THE LATEST RADAR IMAGERY SHOWING
CONVECTION DEVELOPING UPSTREAM OVER CENTRAL/EASTERN TN...WITH FCST
SOUNDINGS SHOWING ENOUGH ELEVATED INSTABILITY TO SUPPORT
CONVECTION THROUGHOUT THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. -VINCENT

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM TUESDAY...

WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY NIGHT...VERY MOIST (PRECIP WATER VALUES AROUND 2
INCHES)...APPROACH OF A MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH...AND INCREASING
DIVERGENCE ALOFT (ESPECIALLY AFTER 18Z) SUGGEST A LIKELIHOOD OF
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS. NAM/WRF IS A LITTLE FASTER
THAN SLOWER GFS WHILE 00Z ECMWF APPEARS TO BE A GOOD COMPROMISE.
NAM/WRF DOES APPEAR TO BE VERIFYING BETTER AT MID DAY WITH THE
PLACEMENT/DYNAMICS FOR CONVECTION OCCURRING OVER THE MID MS VALLEY
INTO THE WESTERN TN VALLEY (GFS LOOKS TOO SLOW AND TOO WEAK OVER
THE MO BOOTHEEL INTO WESTERN KY/TN). WHILE LOW/MID LEVEL
KINEMATICS RATHER WEAK...PRECIP LOADING IN THE STRONG UPDRAFTS MAY
LEAD TO DAMAGING WET MICROBURSTS. IN ADDITION...CONVECTIVE
INSTABILITY PARAMETERS SUGGEST THAT STORMS MAY PRODUCE CONTINUOUS
TO EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF LIGHTNING (K INDICES NEAR 40 DEG C LOW
LEVEL THETA-E AXIS OVER CWA MUCAPE BETWEEN 2000-2500 J/KG ALONG
AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 1).

INITIATION OF CONVECTION WILL DETERMINE MAX TEMPS. IF TIMING OF
GFS IS MORE CORRECT...CONVECTION WILL START MUCH LATER ALLOWING
TEMPS TO WARM AT LEAST INTO THE MID 90S. SINCE FAVOR THE NAM
TIMING...LEANED TOWARD THE COOLER ETA MOS GUIDANCE.

WITH APPROACH OF MID LEVEL TROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...EXPECT
CONVECTION TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS.

THURSDAY...NAM/WRF MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH THE EWD PASSAGE OF MID
LEVEL TROUGH THAN GFS/ECMWF. FAVOR THE SLOWER GFS AS DIFFICULT TO
GET A CLEAN TROUGH PASSAGE THIS TIME OF YEAR. BEST POTENTIAL FOR
CONVECTION WILL BE EAST OF HIGHWAY 1 WHERE DEEPER MOISTURE AND
BEST INSTABILITY WILL RESIDE.

FRIDAY...AIR MASS WILL BE CONDITIONALLY UNSTABLE (PER GFS). MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES UNIMPRESSIVE BUT PRECIP WATER VALUES WILL BE
FAIRLY CLOSE TO NORMAL (1.3-1.5 INCHES) AND BOUNDARY LAYER LIFTED
INDICES MINUS 2 TO MINUS 3. WILL CARRY A SLIGHT CHANCE POPS
DURING THE HEAT OF THE DAY. THICKNESSES SUPPORT TEMPS CLOSE TO
NORMAL (NEAR 90/LOWER 90S).

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 210 PM TUESDAY...

WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND ATTENDANT SURFACE TROUGH WILL RESIDE
OVER THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
SOME AMPLIFICATION OF THE UPPER TROUGH BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS TYPE
OF PATTERN USUALLY SUPPORTS A SLIGHT TO SMALL CHANCE OF DIURNAL
CONVECTION WITH TEMPS HOVERING NEAR NORMAL. CAVEAT TO THIS IS THAT
WITH NW MID/UPPER LEVEL FLOW...POTENTIAL FOR DECAYING MCS OR MCS
INDUCED VORT MAX TO AFFECT THE REGION FROM ANY CONVECTION THAT
DEVELOPS IN THE MID/UPPER MS VALLEY OR THE LOWER GREAT LAKES. THIS
IS DIFFICULT TO FORECAST THIS FAR OUT...SO WILL KEEP POPS AOB 30%
FOR NOW.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM TUESDAY...

BRIEF IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS IN ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...THEN MVFR FOG AND HAZE WEDNESDAY MORNING.

A TRICKY FORECAST REGARDING THE POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AT THIS TIME...THE BEST
CHANCE FOR SHOWER/STORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED AT THE RWI/FAY TAF
SITES...WITH A LESSER CHANCE AT RDU AND THE LEAST CHANCE AT INT/GSO.
SEE NEAR TERM DISCUSSION FOR MORE DETAIL ON THE CONVECTIVE CHANCES.
AT THIS TIME WILL COVER THE POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION BY ADDING A
SCT060CB TO ALL TAF SITES BETWEEN 20Z AND 02Z THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING. ISOLD SHOWERS/STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGHOUT
THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD...HOWEVER...CHANCES ARE TOO LOW TO INCLUDE
MENTION IN THE TAFS AT THIS TIME. THE SAME AIR MASS OVERHEAD WILL
RESULT IN AREAS OF MVFR HAZE AND FOG AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY MORNING.
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING AS A COLD FRONT MOVES INTO OUR REGION FROM THE
NORTHWEST. LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN THE COASTAL PLAIN MAY
ALSO PROMOTE MVFR/IFR FOG DEVELOPMENT AT KRWI AND KFAY EACH MORNING
THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. -VINCENT/MWS
